Guest Operating System Installation Guide
Note the host’s IP address for VMnet8 and change the last octet so it is greater
than the last octet in the IP address of the host.
For example, if the host IP address is 192.168.160.1, then the virtual machine’s
IP address is 192.168.160.###, where ### is any number greater than 2 and less
than 128.
For the subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0.
For the router gateway, enter the NAT service’s IP address (192.168.160.2 in this
example).
Note that with Network Address Translation, there are two IP addresses in use
on the host:
The IP address assigned to the interface for VMnet8 appears in the
ipconfig output with a 1 in the last octet.
The IP address used by the NAT device itself always uses 2 as the last octet.
7. Finish the installation.
After you finish the installation, install VMware Tools, which installs and loads the
CPU idler program.
VMware Tools for NetWare 6.0 Guest Operating Systems
Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see the
manual for your VMware product or follow the appropriate link in the knowledge base
article at www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=340.
Installing VMware Tools also installs and loads the CPU idler program. NetWare servers
do not idle the CPU when the operating system is idle. As a result, a virtual machine
takes CPU time from the host regardless of whether the NetWare server software is
idle or busy. To prevent unnecessary slowdowns, VMware recommends that, after you
install VMware Tools, you keep the NetWare CPU idle program loaded.
Known Issues
Disconnecting VMware Tools ISO File
After the virtual machine reboots while installing VMware Tools, make sure the virtual
machine releases the VMware Tools ISO image. Choose Edit > Removable Devices >
CD-ROM, and if the CD-ROM’s configuration shows the VMware Tools ISO image,
change it back to Use physical drive.
